Election Reactions (2 of 2): Barhopping.

Since I'm done volunteering, it's time to catch up with bars.

Like that week on Thurs., I took a bike trip to the far west side of the city, to an Italian-American neighborhood then a Polish neighborhood.

At the bar of an Italian restaurant, there were all these white guys in expensive-looking cheap suits talking about the election.

"I think what happened is that black people finally woke up," one guy was saying, "and saw that Romney would take away their food stamps."

He also was saying that he's socially liberal and doesn't "give a fuck about abortion", and is glad that evangelicals are a dying breed in the GOP.

Later, at this lowscale tiki bar where there were two working-class (white) men and an older (Polish) bartender working amidst thatch walls, aquariums, and fans made out to look like palm leaves, the bartender had on FoxNews.

When some segment said how married women voted for Romney more than Obama, she was like, "Of course, they are responsible, they do not want something for nothing."

Later, when there was footage of Sandra Fluke on, she yelled out "slut!" and "n*gg*r lover!" at the screen.

The other guys were union, though, and pushed back a little...  When FoxNews was saying how Romney was a nice guy and Obama cheated by tarring him, the one was like, "You mean cheated like keeping all your money in the Cayman Islands?  Hey, that's not fair!".
